\"Starbucks<\/p>\n

When I\u2019m not in the coffee mood (which is rare), I love trying some of the cold tea beverages at Starbucks. For those of you who haven\u2019t tried it, there\u2019s this delicious passion fruit tea they make with lemonade and syrups. It\u2019s amazing, BUT there\u2019s way too much sugar in there!<\/p>\n

I decided to make it my way\u2026and not only did it have an almost identical flavour, there are NO calories, NO carbs, and not one gram of sugar! What!<\/p>\n

And yo, it\u2019s much cheaper! It\u2019s\u00a0 four dollars for a venti passion tea lemonade. A little much for me.<\/p>\n

\"Tazo<\/p>\n

Get the Starbucks, Teavana (or Tazo) passion tea (that\u2019s where it costs a little bit) and you can make several batches. Granted, there are other cheaper fruit teas you could try, but I was trying to replicate the drink completely.<\/p>\n

Passion Tea Lemonade<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. 1\/3 part hot water<\/li>\n
  2. 1\/3 part cold water<\/li>\n
  3. 1\/3 part ice cubes<\/li>\n
  4. 1 Passion tea bag<\/li>\n
  5. 1 lemon, juiced<\/li>\n
  6. 10 drops lemon stevia*<\/li>\n
  7. 20 drops cherry vanilla stevia<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Brew the tea bag in with the hot water for several minutes. Add lemon juice and stevia drops. Add in ice and a straw and boom. You\u2019re done.<\/p>\n

    *I used NuNaturals lemon<\/a> and cherry vanilla stevia<\/a> \u2013 but you can use a plain flavoured one as well, it just adds a nice little bit of extra \u201cpunchy\u201d flavour!<\/em><\/p>\n

    \"NuNaturals<\/p>\n

    This is incredibly refreshing on a hot summers day!<\/p>\n

    \"Passion<\/p>\n

    Mmmmm!<\/p>\n

    What\u2019s your cold Starbucks drink of choice? I bet I can recreate it for you!<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
